Troubleshooting

Shortcuts Unresponsive

  1. Occasionally, the browser may display improperly configured shortcuts. To reset the shortcuts, click the pen icon and re-enter the shortcut you want

This happens regularly with Arc whenever you close and re-open the browser, so you need to repeat this step to reset your shortcuts every time. There's no workaround for now


  1. For some browsers, a few combos might not work. For example, in the browser Arc, we observed that Alt + Shift + Period and Alt + Shift + Comma don't work as expected. So, we recommend:

    1. Set to either Alt + Shift + K or Alt + Shift + N for "Go to next tab"

    2. Set to either Alt + Shift + J or Alt + Shift + P for "Go to previous tab"

Yoyo Extension Stuck

  1. If you see your extension stuck after the browser is inactive for a while, you can reset it by turning the extension off and back on


  1. Chromium browser extensions often come with a service worker, which acts as a mini-server. This server will be automatically deactivated by the browser after approximately 30 idle seconds

You can check and force it back to the active state by:

  1. Type in your address bar: <browser>://extensions

    • Replace <browser> with chrome, edge, arc, ...

  2. Turn on Developer Mode

  3. Click on Inspect views service worker

If a tab is stuck in the loading state, it could potentially block Yoyo from updating internal states

  • Try refreshing the tab and waiting for it to stop loading

  • See if the tab is now tracked in the window history
